What I love about this lemon shrimp orzo is that it's so tasty and it can be eaten hot or cold. It tastes great with chicken, too. -Aleni Salcedo, East Elmhurst, New York

This recipe was a complete disaster! The shrimp were rubbery and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices next time.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice next time.
